Welcome to Tell a Tale

Tell a Tale is a unique blog where writers from all sections will come and share their stories. Stories that talk for themselves are worth reading. Reading and writing go hand in hand, we all know that. This is a platform not only to share our stories but also to read others’ so that we learn and move ahead. This is where people share their writes and reads others. This unique because it lets you tell your own story – in your own words!

Our Motto
Writing is passion for some while for some it is profession too. Many of us are not professional writers but then, all of us want to write. Writing is common among us.
And hence, our motto: Write On!

Week # 2: (continue story)


One who reads will be read – one who mere writes may not!

Prompt for Week # 2:
Writing stories on a single word is much easier than continuing with a story itself. This week we will try to do that tough thing and see how well we come victorious. So, here is the first portion of the story. Read it and write in its continuation:

“The mouse clicked. The email was sent. He took utmost care in drafting the email and spent hours reading and re-reading it; but then, there was a mistake. A mistake he could not have done…”

NOTE: Please do not link your websites/blogs here. Link only the latest post, which should be a story written on the prompt here. Abnormal links maybe removed.
Also, please use the prompt badge provided above in your post and link it to Tell a Tale.

Word Limit: 300

Points: 1 point for each participation.

The first post!

Hello friends. First of all, a very warm welcome to “Tell a Tale – a space to share.” This place is created for you – for you to share your stories and read others who share theirs. This is an attempt to bring together the immensely talented bloggers who write stories and find very little exposure. This is in hope that more people we share their stories and even more will read and enjoy the creations segregated in the world of blogs.

The first prompt will be posted in the coming Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Stay tuned!

It will be nothing without your participation. It will be an earnest request to all the bloggers to share their stories here in regular basis to share and entertain the blogger family. And for sure, this will attract higher traffic to your individual blogs. Looking forward to a huge participation!

Write On!
